5 Claims, N0 Drawings UNSATURATE CONTAINING AZO INDAZOLIUM DYESTUFFS The present invention relates to new basic azo dyestuffs, processes for their preparation, and their appli- 5 cations.

According to the present invention basic azo dyestuffs are provided of the general formula:

in which the group CH=CHR is fixed in position 4 or 5, R represents a CN, CONH or COO-alkyl group, the 25 alkyl residue containing l to 5 carbon atoms, Y represents a hydrogen or chlorine atom, the benzene nucleus A is unsubstituted or substituted in the 2 and/or 5 positions by alkyl or alkoxy groups containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms, n is equal to O or l, Z represents an OH or NH CH CH-R m (II) 50 and coupling the diazo derivative obtained with a coupling compound of the general formula:

(III) I A1kyl-N N CH 0 alkyl 2 wherein Y, R, X, Z and alkyl having the same significance as above. Such coupling compounds are described in French Pat. Nos. 1,364,647 and 1,338,315.

The dyestuffs of formula (I) in which n is equal to l. may be prepared, for example, by coupling a diazo derivative of a base of formula (II) with an amine of the general formula:

Alkyl diazotising the aminomonoazo dyestuff thus obtained and coupling with a coupling compound of formula (Ill).

Another method of preparation of the dyestuffs of formula (1) comprises subjecting an 2120 dycstuff of the general formula:

EN CH in which n, R, Y, 2 have the same significance as above, to the action of an alkylating agent.

Examples of alkylating agents which may be used are alkyl halides. dialkyl sulphates and alkyl arylsulphonates. The alkylating treatment may be effected for example in an organic solvent, such as a benzene hydrocarbon for instance benzene, toluene, a xylene, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, nitrobenzene, or in chloroform or dimethylformamide.

The bases of formula (II) in which R represents a cyano group may be prepared, for example by the Meerwein reaction applied to acrylonitrile and diazonium chlorides of mor p-nitranilines possibly substituted by a chlorine atom in the ortho position, dehydrohalogenation by means of an alkaline agent such as sodium acetate and finally reduction of the nitro group.

The bases of formula (II) in which R represents a carbonamido group may be prepared by various methods for example by partial hydrolysis of the corresponding amino-cinnamonitriles; partial hydrolysis of the corresponding nitro-cinnamonitriles and reduction of the ing nitro-cinnamonitriles. esterification of the nitrocin namic acid by means of an alcohol and reduction of the nitro group; or effecting the Meerwein reaction by reaction between an alkyl acrylate and the diazonium chloride of a nitraniline. dehydrohalogenation by means of an alkaline agent such triethylamine and reduction of the nitro group.

The dyestuffs of formula (I) are generally very soluble in water. They have the tinctorial properties of the basic dyestuffs but have a special interest for the dyeing of fibres based on polymers and copolymers of acrylonitrile to which they impart yellow to scarlet shades. which are very uniform and have excellent general fastness. These dyestuffs also'give remarkable tinctorial yields. They may also be used for dyeing fibres based on polyesters or polyamides chemically modified so that they contain acid groups. The colouration is imparted by the dyestuff cation. and the anion does not play any tinctorial role. It may be exchanged for'an other anion. for example, in order to improve the solu-' bility of the dyestuffs.

The invention is illustrated by the following Examples in which the parts are parts by weight unless the contrary is stated.

of acetone is introduced into a solution of the diazo de rivatives obtained from 276 parts of p-nitraniline. Then 40 parts of cupric chloride crystallised with 2 molecules of water are added and the mixture is kept vigor- V ously stirred. The evolution of nitrogen is exothermic and the temperature must be maintained at 3032C, by means ofa cooling bath. After the diazonium chloride has disappeared (six hours), the yellow leaflets which melt at 108C are filtered off. After recrystallising from methanol. 330 parts of 2-chloro-4-nitro- 3- phenyl-propionitrile, which melts at 112C, are obtained. The product is then dehydrohalogenated by means of 200 parts of crystallinev sodium acetate in a mixture of 340 parts of water and 800 parts of ethyl alcohol. The mixture is heated under reflux'for 1 2 hours and 225 parts of 4-nitro-cinnamonitr'ile, 202C. are isolated in the cold.

The 4-nitro-cinnamonitrile' thus obtained is then reduced by the Bechamp reaction in 2000 parts'of water which melts at and 800 parts of ethyl alcohol. 4-amino-cinnamonitrile are thus obtained which melts at l09l 10C. Yieldz Analysis C71 H% M- 5 Calculated for C,.H,,N2 75.00 5.55 19.44
